Mr. Mrityunjoy Chatterjee,

Mrs. Suchismita Chakroborty, Advocates … … For the Petitioners. Mr. Imran Siddiqui, Advocate

¶8

……For the State.

¶9

Mr. Manas Das, Mr. Debarnab Adhikary, Advocate

¶10

……For the Opposite Party No. 2.

¶11

In this application, the petitioners have prayed for quashment of the proceeding being GR Case No. 366/2023 arising out of Jorasanko Police Station Case No. 61/2023 under Sections 324/326/354B/379/427/34 IPC presently pending before learned 18^th Judicial Magistrate, Calcutta.

¶12

Being aggrieved by the aforesaid proceeding, learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegations leveled against the petitioners even if are taken to be true at their face value and accepted in their entirety, still they do not prima facie constitute any offence or make out any case against the petitioners. The allegations are absurd and inheritantly improbable and, therefore, further continuance of the proceeding would be mere abuse of the process of the Court. He further submits that during

¶13

¶14

pendency of the instant proceeding, the parties have amicably settled their dispute outside Court and to that extent, they have filed one connected application being CRAN/1/2026. Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the opposite parties, on instruction, submits that de facto complainant has decided not to support the imputations leveled in the complaint during trial and as such he also prayed for quashment of the present criminal proceeding. Learned Counsel for the State leaves the prayer made by the petitioner to the discretion of the Court.

¶15

Having heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and both the opposite parties, it appears in the charge-sheet that the Investigating Agency has stated that the matter has been amicably settled outside Court at the intervention of common friends and relatives and as such the de facto complainant does not want to proceed with the case any further. The dispute is also private in nature. In such circumstances, I find that the chance of conviction of the present petitioners at the end of trial would be bleak in view of amicable settlement arrived at by and between the parties and, therefore, further continuance of the impugned proceeding would be mere abuse of the process of the Court.

¶16

In view of above, CRR/5545/2025 is allowed.

¶17

¶18

The impugned proceeding being GR Case No. 366/2023 arising out of Jorasanko Police Station Case No. 61/2023 presently pending before learned 18^th Judicial Magistrate, Calcutta is hereby quashed.
